If Qi Yu really wants to compete with Zhang Gui for power, the high-powered British government is definitely a help that cannot be underestimated.

When the British duchess heard this, she was silent for a moment and sighed: "When Your Majesty got married, Zhang Gui returned to your Majesty, and the monarch and ministers were in agreement, and I originally thought that it would smoothly pass the change of power, but who knew that as soon as the new policy was implemented, Zhang Gui actually took back the power in the hands of His Majesty......"

It's no wonder that Qi Yu is dissatisfied, and no one wants to be a puppet emperor who has been hollowed out.

The British Duke sighed and did not speak.

He thinks more than the English Duchess.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Gui's recovery of power can be regarded as prescient - the emperor is young and cannot control the court, and the new policy has violated the vested interests of too many people, and only a veteran like Zhang Gui, who has been in charge of the government for many years, can control the situation with great power.

But to understand clearly, as the "profit and loss" of the New Deal, the British public is somewhat unhappy in their hearts - the family business that the ancestors of the British government have worked so hard to earn back, why should their descendants enjoy it? Why did Zhang Gui ask them to cede the inheritance earned by their ancestors as soon as he gave the order.

It is precisely because of this dissatisfaction that the British government did not participate in the turmoil about Zhang Gui's "seizing affection" and "opposing the New Deal," but it did not take a clear-cut stand against it.

This is of course the British government's consistent loyalty and neutrality, but it is also silent resistance and dissatisfaction - after all, this is what the emperor agrees to promote, and as usual, the British government will definitely be on the emperor's side.

But now that Huang Yi'an has come forward as the queen to appease the British government, he is sincere and sincere, and he has been given a month to verify and fill the vacancies in the Northwest Army.

"Your Majesty, you have married a virtuous queen." The British Duke sighed.

When the British duchess heard this, she couldn't help but have red eyes when she thought of Zhang Lan who was far away at the border.

The child, she sent several letters, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to see, but they were all politely refused.

Why is the border pass busy with military affairs, but there are so many veterans stationed at the border pass, why is he missing a hairy boy?

Speaking of which, it's not that the emperor robbed the family, and it is difficult to calm down......

……

Jiayuguan, cotton field.

Zhang Lan looked at the cotton that had begun to bloom under the moonlight, holding a pot and drinking, his eyes were confused.

These days, he has been numbing himself with busyness, and it is not until today that he sees the bright full moon and the cotton bolls that he is shocked to realize that time has passed, and it has been nearly a year since the last separation.

And before you know it, something has quietly changed.

For example, when he now recalls the willow-colored shadow under the green shade by the release pool, his eyebrows and eyes are blurred, and only the willow-colored dress remains......

Zhang Lan thinks this is very good.

Huang Yi'an has become the queen, and it is impossible to be with him in this life, and being able to forget can be regarded as forgiving himself. After all, he still has a long time left, and he can't always be immersed in the past and grief from it.

But this is the first time in his life that he wants to live a down-to-earth life with a girl, and now he is forced to forget about each other, and it is inevitable that he will be a little sad.

Zhang Lan raised his head and poured another big sip of wine.

The spicy burning knife went down his throat, but Zhang Lan seemed to have been numb, and poured several large mouthfuls like drinking water, and choked out two strings of tears if he was not careful.

Liu Ying'er, who was hiding behind the big tree on the ground, saw it, and subconsciously turned out of the tree quickly, wanting to hand the handkerchief in her hand to Zhang Lan.

——In order to make it easier to cultivate the cotton fields, Zhang Lan specially built simple houses on the edge of the fields for the captives who participated in the cultivation of long-staple cotton, so that they could move freely as long as they did not run out of the designated range on weekdays.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to go out alone on a moonlit night to admire the moon and miss her relatives, and she happened to meet Zhang Lan, who was far away from the moon.

Liu Ying'er took two steps forward, suddenly stopped her steps, and hesitated for a moment.

She is just a captive who can be released, so what qualifications does she have to come forward and care about a handsome and promising little general like Zhang Lan?

Liu Ying'er lowered her eyelids, took two steps back, and the whole person shrank into the thick shade of the tree again.

For Zhang Lan, she just needs to pay attention silently.

The night breeze came from afar, making the branches rattle.

Zhang Lan, who was drinking, suddenly sensed a murderous intention, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Who? ”

As he spoke, he threw away the flask, got up and pressed the knife, and looked in all directions warily.

Liu Ying'er was startled, thinking that Zhang Lan had discovered her, so she quickly subconsciously covered her mouth.

Then, Liu Ying'er saw that under the moonlight, more than a dozen rogues surrounded them, muttering Gaochang dialect in their mouths.

She suddenly understood that Zhang Lan was alarmed by these rogue gangsters of Gaochang Kingdom!

However, the cotton fields are in the pass, and there are soldiers patrolling the vicinity from time to time, how did these rogues sneak in?

The rogues were obviously also afraid of alarming the nearby patrolling soldiers, and after whispering a little, they gathered around, preparing to bully more and kill Zhang Lan before the nearby patrols came.

Liu Ying'er saw that the Liukou was getting closer and closer to Zhang Lan, her head exploded, and she immediately rushed out regardless of it, blocking between Zhang Lan and the Liukou......

Liu Ying'er only heard a chaotic shout in her ears, and then a long knife passed through her chest, so fast that she had just heard the sound of flesh and skin cutting, and before she could feel the pain in her heart, she fell down violently......

Someone behind her raised his hand to catch her.

Liu Ying'er looked up and saw Zhang Lan shouting her name with a shocked and nervous expression.

If you can die for Zhang Lan, that would be good.

For the sake of sacrificing her life to save her, after her death, Zhang Lan should keep her promise and save her father and brother!

Then she has no regrets.

Liu Ying'er thought to herself, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her eyes slowly closed.

Zhang Lan saw the person in his arms fall softly in his arms, shocked and hated, put Liu Ying'er on the ground, waved the big knife, and shouted and rushed forward.

The shouting of killing alarmed the cotton planters living near the cotton field, and when everyone heard the movement, they all picked up their hands and rushed out.

When they saw the willow warbler lying on the ground, everyone immediately became angry, waved a nail rake and hoe and joined the melee.

The Liukou are all civilians who have no livelihood in Gaochangguo, and they only ventured into it for a bite to eat, and saw that there was only a row of houses near the cotton field, not a village, thinking that there were few people and it was easy to rob, so they touched it.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the rogue is not stronger than that of the border people and prisoners.

What's more, there is also Zhang Lan, an outstanding young general from a family of military generals.

Therefore, the battle soon ended with the victory of Zhang Lan and others.

Zhang Lan didn't care about cleaning up the rogues who had suffered heavy casualties, so he told Zhang Hong to clean up the mess, pick up Liu Ying'er, who had been bandaged by someone, and go straight to the barracks.
